October 2012 Concert 1: Opening Night: Tchaikovsky's Pathetique Symphony
As a former music director of Moscow's Bolshoi Theatre, Alexander Vedernikov'scredentials in Russian repertoire hardly need stating. So expect a special level of emotional commitment in Tchaikovsky'sPath?tique Symphony. Chopin's First Concerto is an established favourite, though surely no soloist could bring more freshness and poetry to it than Angela Hewitt. Szymanowski's early Concert Overture, meanwhile, is a rarity in the concert hall - though you'll wonder why, when you hear this sumptuous homage to Richard Strauss from a composer dizzy with his own youthful genius.
